Matt Guy is not worth 5 mil. a year. I think the kid on the practice squad (schraeder) is the solution. He was money all camp. This guy is constantly missing a field goal or 2 a game. Yea I know he made the 4 kicks in the Ravens game last year. He's not getting it done.

I’ll say he’s just coming back from surgery so that might have something to do with but yes for what he’s getting paid he’s not performing.  


Given that Shrader has kicked as well as he has and is still on the PS, I was kind of surprised they were in such a hurry to rush Matt Gay back onto the field after his surgery.

 

I’d understand it more if Shrader had struggled.

They’re trying to justify that big contract. Not working.

I'm sure that's part of it and I wouldn't say that's entirely illegitimate.  They're paying this guy a lot of money -- they want him on the field if he can be on the field.  And they said on the radio broadcast that he looked great in warmups.

 

And maybe the surgery had nothing to do with him missing the kick.  Who knows?  I just don't think it's worth risking it when you have a kicker who has so far been good on the practice squad.

 

That said, I'm far more worried about other things than our PK situation.  I'm mostly griping about it just to pile on.

      2024 NFL Season -- Week #4 All Around the NFL game discussion

      By Dunk · Posted

      Thanks for the good wishes. I wish the same for your Vikings. Tough division game for them.   Mixed feelings on our QB. I can't deny Anthony is an amazing athlete, and he's shown flashes of what he can be. Some really wow throws, but misses some lay-up tosses. Seems very intelligent, and wants to win. I'm sure he's like most young Qb's trying to get used to  the speed and talent of NFL Defenses, and maybe being coached to stay in the pocket and not run as much as he did is giving him some trouble. I think 7 games is too few to tell how good or bad he might be eventually. I just hope he can keep healthy, and keep improving.

      Next Defensive Coordinator

      Packers fans can tell me about Joe Barry that was their DC from 2021-23. They were always in the Top 12-15 range in terms of points per game as opposed to the Colts.   But the year 2021, the Colts were on par because we ran the ball well and possessed it well. Not so much in 2022, and 2023 was a bit of defensive regression for decent possession of the ball from Bradley’s unit.   Brandon Staley is another name but I’d prefer Jon Barry for his units to generate pressure. Otherwise we’d have to look at college like Packers getting the Boston College HC.   I’m a fan of Jim Leonhard that was a heck of a defensive coach / DC at Wisconsin, and is now a DB coach with Broncos. Dave Merritt, the Chiefs DB coach has done an outstanding job there and was interviewed for DC by 49ers.   My pick would be Jim Leonhard or Dave Merritt.

      You can’t keep winning only scoring one TD A game. I think they have gotten some what lucky with who they have played. Colds dline beat up so we will see.

      What I meant is they are not going to come out and just throw 50 times. They are going to try and break your will and run out the clock. It’s  probably going to be a low scoring game. They have only scored 3 offensive TD. I am shocked they str 3-0. They don’t have many offensive weapons. Harris is not really a pass catching back who will break a long run. Now could that change. Off course. But their Oline id beat up. I was reading an article how they tried to open things up and Fields immediately got sacked. He they try to open things up till he revert back to Bears fields.

      I don’t know enough of the position coaches on other teams to say who is worthy of promotion. Best to keep an eye out on head coaches on the hot seat and their staffs.
